The
Purpose of this Utah Mission
"Pray...also
for me, that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth boldly to
proclaim
the mystery of
the Gospel... that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak" (Eph
6:18-20). 
The Church needs your
support and
prayers here in Utah. If you are already purchasing Catholic Materials
online why not make the Utah Mission your purchasing entrance? All
proceeds generated by
this Mission go back into evangelization materials that are mailed out
to Utah residents. Included in each mailing is the Invitation to the 2000-
year- old
Catholic Mass, the Pillar of Fire- Pillar of Faith booklet
and
the Outreach brochure from Catholic
Answers. You
can read the contents by clicking on the images. When you make
your
first purchase through this Utah Mission let us know by e-mailing us at
utahmission@aol.com.
We will send you the same outreach materials that we send to Utah
residents.
In the
promise of Baptism each of us received the gift of the Holy Spirit, the
gift of faith. This faith is to be shared with others and not kept just
for ourselves. This sharing of our faith is not an option but rather a
responsibility as Catholics. In this way all of us participate in the
missionary vocation of the Church, within the one body of Christ. You
may not be called to evangelize as others but you can evangelize by
supporting those that are called. One cannot work without the other.
We know this:
one could purchase and read every Catholic book ever written and
not get out of them what one single Mass can give. The Catholic Mass
can truly pierce a heart. It is our Mission to bring lapsed Catholics
back to the Mass and non Catholics to the
Mass for the very first
time -- in essence home to God -- even if only for a moment, one
moment that may change a life forever.
There
is nothing in this world more touching than witnessing another's eyes
opened to the immensity of what we as Catholics have been given in
Christ... in which we live the great gift of the Eucharist,
forgiveness, and reconciliation daily. There is nothing
in this world
more healing than the sacraments of the church, those
seven wonders that bring us closer to our Lord Jesus, in
which we find
His true unyielding peace in good times as well as times of suffering.
When I was eight, I lost
a mother to suicide because she did not feel “good” enough to
continue living. The gift we have to pass
on to others is the same gift of which she and so many others were/are
in urgent need... the peace, the cure that only Christ can give, when
we discover his healing nature, his unconditional love.
”Everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved. But how shall they call on Him in
whom they have not believed? And how can they believe unless they have
heard of Him? And how can they hear unless there is someone to preach?
And how can men preach unless they are sent?”
(Romans 10: 13-15a)
